  • Nate gives his honest views on the increasing interest from the investment community and beyond in ESG – environmental, social and governance and why it’s the right time for water
  • And Nate talks about how Nevada is a forward-thinking state when it comes to water, having outlawed turf and with changes afoot on cooling towers and why this crosses the water-energy nexus.

Plus much, much more!
